Bach, J S - Die schönsten Orgelwerke

---

Chances are that anyone who has ever heard organ music has been exposed to the organ music of J. S. Bach. More than just a daily staple of the organist's diet, Bach's organ music represents the pinnacle of the art.

Grand toccatas and fantasies; the sophisticated counterpoint of preludes and fugues; virtuoso sets of variations; show-off concertos; astonishingly tuneful trio sonatas; and chorale preludes ranging from complex fugal subjects to simply elaborated harmonization's of Lutheran chorales - in all these genres, Bach built on existing, inherited models and launched them into new territories of the imagination.

The current collection presents the most beautiful selections from the critically acclaimed Edition Bachakademie, bringing together the diverse talents of Europe's most exciting young organists - Kay Johannsen, Bine Katrine Bryndorf, Andrea Marcon, Wolfgang Zerer,and Martin Lücker. For as long as there are organs, it is inconceivable that Bach's organ music will not be performed upon them.
